Software module for multi-sensor data collection

Carlson Software introduced Hybrid+, a new paid module for SurvCE/SurvPC 6.0 that allows users to survey using both a GPS and total station at the same time with all SurvCE compatible drivers. The module incorporates a series of specially designed features to take advantage of the new multi-sensor setup and add speed and efficiency to the data collection process. Included in the module is a setup wizard which guides users through instrument setup, synchronising positions using auto-localisation, hybrid resection, or hybrid localisation, then finishes with a cross check. Measurements from the GNSS receiver and the total station are time-synchronised for a one-tap resection measurement. The module offers single button switching, allowing users to switch instantly between GNSS and the total station. An instrument status icon is available on the top menu bar at all times, showing the status of the RTS and GNSS receiver and allowing a switch between surveying modes. Other features include Follow Me function, Smart Staking, Smart Lock and Cross Check.
